I have always tried to teach my kids that instead of thinking in terms of pride to replace that word pride with the word and mindset of HONOR.

Instead of telling them I am proud of them, I tell them they have honored us when they do something well.

When they get bragged on I tell them to just tell people that it was an honor to be asked to do whatever it is they did.

I love that word HONOR.
I admire honorable men much more than "successful" men.
Everyday I pray that God will make me more honorable
(for his glory not my own).
